Chicago Social Practice Lab (SAIC) DIABLOGLICAL!
Diabloglical is the Chicago Social Practice Lab's class discussion about the Proximity of Consciousness: Art and Social Action exhibition at SAIC's Sullivan Galleries. This is a collective writing about the show's relationship to Chicago, its history of socially engaged practices, the artists involved in the show, questions of authenticity, financial and labor costs, and the analyses of the exhibitions effectiveness, goals, and ramifications in terms of the field as a whole.

We distilled our discussion in class to the five following topics pertaining to each issue regarding the show, inevitably expanding it into a discussion about social practice in its entirety. We hope that this open-discussion leads to a better understanding of Proximity of Consciousness and social practice.

We may be diabloglical, but we cannot claim to be experts on the topic. Please let us know if we have misrepresented anything or are conveying erroneous ideas or facts that you feel should be corrected! Thank you very much.
